My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has hinted that the band's next tour could be of small "punk clubs".

Way told NME that the group are considering a change to the larger venues they are used to playing ahead of the release of their new album, the follow-up to 2006's The Black Parade.

The singer said that the idea of performing at smaller venues appealed because their new material is more suited to an intimate environment, but also due to the current global economic climate.

"The record we've made reflects the size of the venues we're going to play them in," Way revealed. "We can play these songs in stadiums; we can play them in arenas. But we can also play them in punk clubs, and maybe that's all people are gonna be able to go to next time around, who knows?"

Describing the as-yet-untitled album, he teased that the group's new material is less theatrical, saying: "People just wanna f**king rock... I don't know that people want to make statements right now. I can't comment on anybody else's record but I certainly feel something in the air, like, people just want the truth and they don't need a big story."

Way also suggested that My Chemical Romance's forthcoming comeback single is most likely to be a track called 'Bullet Proof Heart'.
